It annoys me enough to post about it and it hasn’t rained here in over a week. Why do people do that? At least here in the states cars are required to have running lights in the rear and brake lights of course. So it’s not like there aren’t already lights on the car. How do they plan on signaling if they want to change lanes or turn? Don’t they know it’s raining on everyone not just them? Should we all turn our hazard lights on when it starts to rain and just keep driving straight until it stops raining? I don’t get it. It bothers me. Is it just me?
I’ve never seen anyone do this in Los Angeles. I mostly get pissed at people who don’t turn their lights on at all in the rain, despite it being the law. They’re practically invisible and they’ll wonder why people cut them off. But what you’re describing sounds even more ridiculous and unsafe, they lose all ability to signal turns, and you’re right to be bothered. Maybe they’re signaling, “Watch out, I’m a hazardous idiot!”
